For the first time an art guide establishes the link between artists in European culture. You will join Velazquez in Venice as he examines paintings by Titian and Tintoretto on the advice of Rubens. You will meet Liszt, a Hungarian pianist who encounters Chopin and Berlioz in the Salons of Paris. You will understand the hidden meaning of popular subjects such as "Saint George and the Dreagon," the importance of Florentine art patrons in the 15th century, and the beginning of new movements such as Art Nouveau or Cubsim. A list of the 300 most important museums with addresses, will give you direct access to the artworks and help plan trips to Europe that are immersed in culture.

Pascal Bonafux has curated several exhibitions of contemporary art. As a journalist, he contributes to various newspapers and reviews and he also teaches art history at Paris VIII University
